The Haverford College Apartments feature a small garden maintained by the Carousel Connections organization.

The Haverford College Apartments contain an extension of the Haverfarm -- a vegetable garden open for use by students and the community.

Tritton and Kim are designed to LEED gold standards and both feature green roofs and pollinator gardens surrounding the buildings. They additionally feature an underground retention and relief system for stormwater runoff, solar lampposts, and low flow shower heads (all dorms now feature low flow shower heads).

The Stokes building features a 5,700 ft green roof.

The Dining Center met (and surpassed!) the "Real Food Challenge" goal of 20% local or sustainable foods by 2020. The Dining Center also features an aerobic digestor ("Munchy Crunchy Grinds Up Your Lunchy") to deal with food waste and a destratification fan to push warm air down in the winter.

All 216 acres of Haverford's campus are maintained as an arboretum. The Arboretum practices sustainable management of all the trees and horticultural elements of campus. The Arboretum staff is headquartered in the facilities building.

The headhouse is the Haverfarm's headquarters and classroom area. The headhouse features solar panels and an attached greenhouse.

The Haverfarm is a year-round farming and educational space designed to integrate sustainable food and agriculture into the academic and extracurricular lives of Haverford students, faculty, staff, and community members. With a focus on interdisciplinary and experiential learning, the Haverfarm invites students and other members of the community to engage with issues of food justice and local, progressive agriculture.
